My Take
Cristela Alonzo earns my wholehearted respect. Raised in San Juan, Texas, she became the first Mexican American woman to create, write, produce, and star in her own American primetime sitcom—a barrier far higher than most viewers realize. Her voice work in Cars 3 is fun, but what I champion is the grit it took to carve that path through comedy, the most unforgiving craft there is, where you must spin your own life into laughter before an audience commits. Born in 1979, a Capricorn known for patient, ground-up climbing, she fits the type perfectly. I admire anyone who becomes someone else's 'first.'
